Went to bathroom last night amd barely made it back to bed, I was going to pass out. Same thing twice this morning 😩. Finally brain kicked in and I got my nighttime oxygen and put it on. Made a difference and I didn’t start to “swoon” so I will wear it for a few days.

Just when you think it can not hurt anymore; it does. All the anesthesia has worn off now and the pain is awful, plus it’s stiffen up a lot. I need to walk more but can’t cause if I up any time at all, I start to pass out. I see the doctor next week and will see what he thinks if the passing out doesn’t stop.

I am using a half of a mild pain pill, I don’t want to take the strong ones amd my knee hurts and is stiff as well. Fortunately, I’ve lost all the water weight that I gained, according to the scale, but both legs are still very swollen and both hurt. Giving up trying to put the fitbit on my ankle, it’s too swollen.

Those pain pills, all of them, make me get constipated so I always wind up drinking a lot of prune juice. I am not particularly happy about that part of pain management either.
I hope that you get beyond this quickly.
 

Today, my wife and I are off to a funeral, an exceptional funeral. One of our beloved friends passed away a couple of weeks ago, he had just turned eighty. Covid restrictions had caused the funeral delay but now it's deemed safe to celebrate the life of our departed friend.

Yesterday, his immediate family held a secular service for him, that being his request. Today most of his friends are gathering in his local watering hole.

Our deceased friend will have the place of honour, his wicker casket is to be placed on a couple of trestles, with a glass of merlot, placed on top,

And at his request, we are going to have a jolly.

When out of town to see a hospitalized friend recently, hubby and I went to Panera Bread for lunch - it was the first time either of us had been to that chain restaurant/bakery. Very impressive. Delicious food, reasonable prices, clean and spacious dining area, and courteous, helpful employees. In fact, we returned the following morning for breakfast.

When we came back home and I needed to buy bagels for our gathering last weekend, I ordered them from the Panera that's not too far from where we live.

All positive experiences.

Why not just take a strong painkiller?>...Just to get you over the worst of the pain for now...
 
Still feel awful, have not been sleeping, no one to whine at that cares, ☹️, I am full of self pity. Called to tell mother I had my surgery and my brother does not know where she is, stupid man. Called again yesterday and he still had not heard from her. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Apparently her apartment was too hot so she left it and to get cooler, but he does not know where she went. I’ll try calling her again today, but it’s even hotter there today. She is probably sitting in a hotel somewhere, but you never know.

Because they make me throw up and since I am diabetic I NEED to eat or I have another set of issues. I keep ice on the leg, and walk a little, but it’s really stiff. He moved where he did the incision and I think it’s a better place in terms of the cut, but I think it made the leg a lot more painful.

I am really pale, I know this because husband said “you are really pale”. 😮, and he never notices anything. Also been clammy and sweaty which I wasn’t before. But every surgery is different. Oh, well, see the doctor soon and I should be on the upswing in another week.
 
I went back to sleep after the birdies woke me up at 5,got up around 6:10
My early walk at was 3 times around our garden community circle after I watered the plants. It was a bit breezy temp was 73
My long walk of the day to/from my church{6 blocks} for our 10:30 service which alas is the last one for our minister,Tom who is retiring after 23 yrs.I hope there is a good turnout considering the Buffalo Marathon is also taking place.If he get through his last sermon without getting emotional it will be a miracle.
The rest of my day,reading the paper,from 6-7pm a church "tribute video' via zoom for Tom&his wife,Carol,tributes from special guests,church members highlighting Tom's 23 yrs with us

Having a very bad morning. If I could have called 911, I probably would have. 🤦🏻‍♀️ But I am over that particular hump for the moment and hopefully feel better soon.

Yup, 911, ambulance trip, I could have died and what a waste of a new hip that would have been, will explain later as it is way past lunch and I want something to eat. But every medical person I encountered was super nice and I was barely understandable-so sick. Back home now.
 
I am sitting here baking, not a cake, from the heat. People move here from Ontario because the climate is so temperate, usually. it reminds me of our trips to Florida where you would see no one all day then at night the streets were packed. My poor dog starts mid afternoon wanting to go for his walk and cannot understand why we have to wait so long. I hope that we go back to normal temperatures soon.
